JLF Partners with Cal-Hi Sports to Host Student-Athletes from the Bay Area

San Francisco 49ers General Manager, John Lynch, and his wife Linda, hosted an awards ceremony for local student-athletes at Levi’s Stadium on Tuesday, October 22. The John Lynch Foundation, which was founded by the Lynches in 2000 and is dedicated to developing young leaders, will partner with the 49ers Cal-Hi Sports Report to recognize student-athletes who excel in athletics, academics and overcome adversity. 

The John Lynch Foundation and Cal-Hi Sports will host three bi-monthly Star of the Month ceremonies and each of the student-athletes who are featured on the Cal-Hi Sports Report show will be invited to attend along with their families. Each student-athlete will be presented an award, meet John and Linda, and receive a tour of the 49ers Museum.
